Cationic–electrokinetic improvement of an expansive soil
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract (Cationic–electrokinetic) soil improvement was shown to be an effective technique for delivering, homogeneously, stabilizing agents into soils. The results of the electrokinetic-stabilization procedure using the K + and Ca 2+ ions as stabilizing agents varied according to the type of the stabilizing ions. The plasticity index of the natural soil (PI = 40) was reduced to 32 for the Ca 2+ -stabilized soil, and to merely 8 for the K + -stabilized soil. The free swell value was reduced from 14% for the natural soil to 3.1% for the Ca 2+ -treated soil, and to only 0.4% for the K + -treated soil under identical conditions of dry density and initial moisture content. The friction angle was increased from ϕ = 24° for the natural soil to 30.9° for the Ca 2+ -treated soil, and to 36° for the K + -treated soil under identical conditions.
